Los linfomas no hodgkinianos raramente afectan al parénquima pulmonar. La mayor parte de los casos descritos hasta ahora son de células B. Presentamos el primer caso en la bibliografía hispana de linfoma pulmonar de células T con una evolución agresiva y mala respuesta al tratamiento. Casos como éste demuestran el valor de la biopsia a cielo abierto y los marcadores celulares como elementos diagnósticos fundamentales. Los linfomas de células T deberían ser incluidos en el diagnóstico diferencial de los pacientes febriles con nódulos pulmonares

Palabras clave:
Linfoma pulmonar primario
Nódulos pulmonares
Linfoma de células T

Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas rarely involve the pulmonary parenchyma. Most cases described to date involve B-cells. We report the first case of T-cell pulmonary lymphoma in the Spanish literature. The course of disease was rapid and response to treatment was poor. Such cases demonstrate the importance of open biopsy and the study of cell markers for diagnosis. T-cells lymphomas should be included in the differential diagnosis of febrile patients with pulmonary nodules
